Lima district offers free electronic ID cards on June 8

Residents of San Martín de Porres, a district in Lima, will have the opportunity to obtain electronic National Identity Documents (DNIe) for free on Monday, June 8. The municipal government announced the campaign, which aims to make the identification process more accessible to its citizens. The initiative is being carried out with the support of the National Registry of Identification and Civil Status (Reniec), the government agency responsible for issuing these documents in Peru. The campaign is specifically targeting minors under the age of 17. Those who meet the age requirement can apply for their DNIe free of charge during the event. As part of the facilitated services, participants will receive complimentary photo sessions, a mandatory step for obtaining the electronic ID. A Reniec registrar will be present to oversee and process the applications. The event will take place at the intersection of Pasaje Los Leones and Jirón Pedregal 406-408, starting at 9:00 a.m. Attendees will be served on a first-come, first-served basis, and organizers advise arriving early due to limited availability. This initiative seeks to streamline the process for young residents needing to update or obtain their official identification.
